- ↑ Like most Northern Italian languages ("dialects" in Italian-language linguistic literature), nasals do not assimilate their place of articulation to that of the following consonant; instead a ɲ is used in all nasal plus consonant clusters. Thus, both the n in /nɡ/, /nk/ (like in standard Italian) and the n in other consonant clusters (e.g. canpo, "field") is a velar [ŋ].
